We're going to take advantage of the longer summer days to knock out this long hike from Wayah Bald all the way down to Wallace Branch. This is roughly an 11-mile section of mostly elevation loss on one of the most popular sections of the Bartram Trail. We'll plan on meeting at Wallace Branch at […]
This will be a relatively long hike at around 8 miles, but well worth the views from Wayah Bald as well as over Lake Nantahala as we approach it. We'll pass through Sawmill Gap on the way down. This section shares about a mile or so with the Appalachian Trail just below Wayah Bald to […]
We welcome all on another great Walking With Bartram hike, as we continue to weave our way across the Bartram Trail, section by section! This hike picks up from last month’s Wayah Bald to Lake Nantahala hike. It’s .7 miles on Wayah Road before entering the forest for another 5 miles to Appletree. The trail […]
We're getting close to tying a bow on this second round of section hiking the Bartram Trail and I do believe we're gonna do it in record time! With weather being favorable and our hiking groups fleet-footed and fearless, we're going to skip the Piercy Creek side trail this time through and make the haul […]
Please join us for this last official section of our section-hike-through on this second round of Walking With Bartram. We'll finish this up with a hike from Cheoah Bald to Beechertown the trailhead. This section will be about 7.5 miles in total. We’ve planned this section for the least amount of backtracking and elevation gain, […]
Join us for the 3rd round of our Walking with Bartram series hikes. We’re starting all over again in North Georgia, at Russell Bridge/HWY 28 at the South Carolina state line. We’ll work our way through this first section to Sandy Ford Gap. Last year, these hikes were really popular, we're so appreciative of the […]

We have rescheduled our last Walking with Bartram hike to this Monday, April 22. We will be meeting at Warwoman Dell at 9am and shuttling to Sandy Ford. We hope you'll come join us this time! We had to reschedule because of the USFS prescribed burns that we encountered last time. RSVP below if you […]
The Walking with Bartram hike this week has already filled up. We hope you'll join us next month! We'll be hiking the 8.5 mile section from Wilson Gap to Warwoman Dell. This hike will cover some beautiful country as we pass Becky Branch Falls, Martin Creek, Pinnacle knob, and much more to experience in between. […]
This hike is full. We hope you can join us next time! This hike will take us 9.2 miles to the GA/NC border, straddling the eastern continental divide and passing over Rabun Bald, Georgia's second highest mountain. We will meet at the Hale Ridge Rd Trailhead at 9am, and get shuttled up to Wilson Gap. […]
Join us this month as we traverse the Fishhawk range to hike from Jones Gap to Hickory Knoll Road on the Bartram Trail. This 9.6 mile hike will lead us through stunning terrain and views of Whiterock Mountain, and will go through botanically unique areas of "montane cedar glades". We'll be meeting at 9am at […]
